Latest news and updates about the Diamondbacks
Record: 3-4. Change on 2025: +0.5. 5-inning record: 1-6. Well, if there was an award for Comment of the Thread, I’d have to give it to myself for my sarcastic suggestion after the D-backs got on the board: “The comeback starts here!” To be fair, Arizona had been trailing 8-0 at that point. Indeed, they […]

Surprise! No, really: Surprise. That’s where the D-backs are playing once again today, returning to the scene of the recent victory over the Texas Rangers, to play the other inhabitants of the complex, the Kansas City Royals. Never mind, it’s at Salt River Fields. The D-backs pitching has still left a bit to be desired, […]

The Royals will try to end their two-game losing skid this afternoon against the local Arizona Diamondbacks. Ryan Bergert pitches in his second game, after throwing a scoreless inning in his first time out. The royals won’t start many regulars today, with Lane Thomas at DH, and a good look at young hitters Jac Caglianon […]

Time to stare in the mirror, I guess! I’ve been part of the Diamondbacks’ fanbase, more or less since I came out to Arizona in November 2000. Initially, casually, but then steadily more actively, opening up this site just before the 2005 season. Since then I’ve been through the highs of a National League pennant, […]

Record: 2-4. Change on 2025: 0. 5-inning record: 1-5 And it was going so well, too… The D-backs jumped on the Dodgers’ Roki Sasaki in the bottom of the first. Nolan Arenado doubled in Geraldo Perdomo, and Ildemaro Vargas then doubled in a pair for a quick 3-0 lead. But it was more or less […]

Roki Sasaki made his spring debut, which was also his first start since May of last season. Sasaki struggled over 1 1/3 innings of work, tossing 36 pitches […]

The Evil Empire arrives at Salt River Fields, and the run they had last post-season is ongoing. The Dodgers have won their first four games, outscoring their opponents by a whopping 34-6 margin so far. So let’s hope this is not an omen of things to come in the regular season. But we are sending […]

First things first: the Dbacks Dispatch crew and I will put in our two cents on games and their outcomes, but like any seasoned Spring Training vet knows, the numbers on the scoreboard are like the $7 churros at the Phoenix Zoo – I ain’t buying it. Let’s focus on the players. Whether it’s the […]

Record: 2-3. Change on 2025: +1. 5-inning record: 1-4. That was satisfactory – and it didn’t look like it would be initially. Michael Soroka, in his debut for Arizona, pitched his team into a deficit before he recorded an out, opening up by allowing a triple and RBI single. But he gave up just a […]

The D-backs haven’t had the best start to spring, winning just one of four games, and that victory coming by a single run in the opener. They’ve lost three in a row since, and have conceded an average of ten runs per game in that time. The offense has been doing a reasonable job, its […]

Roki Sasaki makes his first start of spring training, trying to get off to a better start in his second year in MLB. Zac Gallen, who re-signed with Arizona this month on a one-year […]

Texas Rangers lineup for February 24, 2025 against the Arizona Diamondbacks. We have a lineup that looks like what we might see on Opening Day, save for Alejandro Osuna playing in place of Brandon Nimmo, who is still doing his ramp-up, and Jacob Latz, who hopefully isn’t the Opening Day starters, as that would give […]

Diamondbacks News Mitch Bratt, Kohl Drake of Merrill Kelly trade make Diamondbacks spring debuts by Alex Weiner [Arizona Sports] The D-backs received strong value from trading Kelly on an expiring deal to the Texas Rangers for Bratt, Drake and David Hagaman, who are considered three of Arizona’s better pitching prospects, paired with Kelly’s eventual return […]

“I mean, it was a weird day.“ That’s recent Arizona Diamondback and now Colorado Rockies outfielder Jake McCarthy when asked about scoring the Rockies first run of 2026 against the team that traded him away back in January. “I’m used to coming out that other down the left field foul pole, and then being in […]

Record: 1-3. Change on 2025: 0. 5-inning record: 0-4. Once again, the D-backs waited until late for their offense to show up, only getting their first run on the board when they were already down by seven. That put a thin veneer of respectability on a score which was never really in doubt. Though after […]

The Diamondbacks will be hopping on the team bus, and whizzing on the 101 and 10, for the drive to Goodyear for today’s game. Probably a toss-up whether that or Camelback Ranch is the furthest ballpark from Salt River Fields, but either way, forty miles isn’t bad. It’s one way the Cactus League is definitely […]

Record: 1-2. Change on 2025: +1. 5-inning record: 0-3 Kohl Drake got the start, and it was a bit bumpy initially, as he walked the first two batters he faced. One of those came around to score, but Drake settled down nicely. He retired the next six men he faced, including strikeouts of established major-leaguers […]

Well, at least it’s not the Rockies! We will be seeing them again later in the preseason, but for now we move outside of the complex, and welcome the Angels as the first team to visit Salt River Fields this spring. Like the D-backs, they had a bit of a rough day yesterday om their […]

In the first offensive explosion of spring training, when the Rockies totalled 13 hits and scored 11 runs, including a three-hit, three-RBI performance by Brenton Doyle and a homer from Adael Amador, the Rockies beat Arizona 11-6 for their first spring training win on Saturday. The Rockies (1-1) will now face their first opponent other […]

Sure it’s early, and we’re only two games in, and the Colorado Rockies are at a promising .500 after trashing the Arizona Diamondbacks earlier today. I get it: Spring training doesn’t matter. But this is — at least for Rockies fans — an interesting team because anything could happen. (And whatever does happen, at least […]

After losing their spring training home opener, the Colorado Rockies came back to soundly defeat their Salt River Fields roomies, the Arizona Diamondbacks, 11-6. For more details, go here. We’re not yet to the point in the season where we’re doing game recaps, but we wanted to share manager Warren Schaeffer’s postgame comments and some other […]

Record: 1-1. Change on 2025: +1. 5-inning record: 0-2. Yeah, after yesterday’s well-pitched endeavor, this was very much the opposite. It was probably worse than the score actually indicates, since the Diamondbacks put up a crooked number in both the eighth and ninth innings, to leave the final tallies looking more respectable than they deserved […]

Well, the D-backs are already off to a better spring start than they were in 2025. Last year, they lost their first three games, conceding a total of 32 runs in the process. So it was nice to see them put together a well-pitched game right out of the gate. On the other hand, opening […]
